Blustery Days

We have been having some insane weather here in Portland.
Crazy wind and rain, everything flooding, the works. When you look out your window and people are traveling via canoe,
you know these are bona fide Blustery days!

My solution of course is to hunker down with a nice cup of coffee,
and you guessed it, curl up with a good book.

There is a beauty to the sights and sound of rain, and a
magic that is there if we embrace it.

Sure it can be dangerous and it can make you soggy. But now what better excuse for a hot cup of your favorite steamy drink, and a cozy sweater or blanket to melt the brittleness away.

The beauty is in the opportunity to appreciate our conveniences,
and to embrace an opportunity to slow down.

So take a moment, breath in the dewy breeze
(or gusts if you are anywhere near pdx.)
If you can take the time to read or write (or meditate in the way that suits you,) I think you would be glad you did.

For those without that ability, just take a moment to stop,
reflect for a moment, and breath in the day.

What a great post. Well, here in Australia it’s hot and humid but if I was curled up with a good book, a hot coffee and a warm fireplace I think I’d be in heaven! And I’d probably be reading something by Harlan Coben. Love a good thriller.

Wonderful post – and blog! I have the opposite weather where I am right now, but still gets chilly. No matter the weather, December is always a magical time to me and I end up reading Fantasy. I just started Eragon, which I have’nt read before, and it’s turning out perfect for the season. Cheers!

Unfortunately (well in a matter of speaking) since that time my TBR list has grown immensely… So I don’t know how long it will be till I get to it again 🙂 The book is going slowly but surely, it’s a bit hard to get into. Probably because I unfortunately saw the movie first, which takes away some natural intrigue.

I know how you feel I used to get so frustrated, lights were always left for someone else. It’s a good thing lights are a bit cheaper than they used to be! Now, we use cardboard to keep them tangle free, and I am a happy camper.

I love to read, write, and drink coffee. They are the bread and butter of my soul. I really enjoy discussing books, poetry, and the like. Another huge passion of mine is dancing, and for fun I am an avid volleyball player. I live in the NW and I am a hybrid city/country lover. I enjoy spending time hiking through our beautiful Oregon forests, and riding horses at the family farm. I also equally enjoy strolling the downtown waterfront with a latte, gazing the city lights, and/or sipping a Café con leche at my favorite Cuban eatery.

Of A Life Less Ordinary

My life matters. My life matters, when I spend time with those it matter to; it’a as simple and as complicated as that. Which is why, “Those who matter don’t mind, and those who mind, don’t matter” is such a powerful and amazing quote. We all matter, that should not be up for debate, even […]

I get it, we are frustrated, scared, and feel helpless, those things make us edgy and desperate for solutions. So people are lashing out when they see the problem and solution differently. However, I wish we could pleeeease as […]
